Wiener was born in London. Although a lawyer by profession, he devoted most of his life to biblical research. He settled in Palestine in 1924, believing that a religious renaissance was imminent. His main objective was to minimize the conflict between the various religions in the land, and he devoted the last five years of his life to a rapprochement between Arabs and Jews. […] In his studies Wiener insisted that the Pentateuch was written by Moses, but developed a critical method of biblical interpretation, by which, using the ancient versions, he attempted to establish a correct text. Wiener was prominent among those who opposed the J. Wellhausen school of Bible research by scholarly methods. Among his major works are Essays in Pentateuchal Criticism (1909) ; The Origin of the Pentateuch (1910) ; Prophets of Israel in History and Modern Criticism (1923) ; Early Hebrew History and Other Studies (1924) ; and Posthumous Essays (1932) . ” (EJ 2007) Subjects: Bible.
